Re: GEC Woodies
Nice pair,Ryan !!!!!____________the end cap on the Beaver,really makes it stand out !!!! I like the end caps, but they don't do them much (cost factor,I guess ??? )

Re: GEC Woodies
Yep... I have to agree, end caps are the way to go, depending on the pattern, it just doesn't seem right without. I guess cost is a factor but how much more could it be $5-$7 a knife to add em'. Perhaps they do without to change it up?

Re: GEC Woodies
Don't you think it's a combination of the style of knife, tradition for the pattern, taste of the people making the knife and the cost it adds to the knife?
I can't be quiet any longer. The title of this thread cracks me up.

Re: GEC Woodies
Yes Jerry. I believe all that plays into cost, end cap/no end, etc. I have been pretty much on board with the majority of the knives they put out, heck they'd have to read peoples minds to get em' perfect! they do just fine, it's only that's sometimes certain patterns one says to themselves "this is a great knife, if only it had an end cap..."
